Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence. 45 solid minutes of mind melting progness served on metal and downed with pop. Most underrated meal... er, I mean song IMHO.
I voted for "Supper's Ready" from the list, but actually I was going to mention Magma because I put some heavy listening into Kohntarkosz Anteria last year and think it's pretty special. Hopefully the boxed set Archiv will make them more widely known ... I had never heard any until I bought it. Maybe not in the league of Genesis and Pink Floyd, but well worth auditioning.

The Revealing Science of God is the stand-out track on TFTO, IMO. I had to vote for Echoes though. Awaken might nudge out RSOG, but it doesn't make it to 20 minutes.

Close to the Edge here. I guess none of King Crimson - the whetton/bruford years - is long enough to apply. Regardless, Close to the Edge is a desert island album anyhow. I'm a sucker for Relayer and Tales as well, but but Close To Edge is one of those albums that can give me the chills on the right day.
Of the super-long (15 min +) Yes songs, my fave is CTTE, followed by Revealing Science of God. As much as I love Yes, most of the other super-long Yes songs don't really fire me up, although alot of their 8-12 minute tunes are phenomenal beyond belief, and 8-12 minutes is LONG by any other standard...
